But the question remained over how McDonald's would respond to the poster.

Appropriately, on 4 September, Jevh discovered its fate whilst eating at the very same restaurant.

"I got a call from Chris Stanley at McDonald's corporate while I was eating with my friends," he told the BBC.

"My first thought was that I was in trouble."

Far from being in trouble, Mr Stanley told Jevh that they loved it. He invited Jevh and Christian to an event at the restaurant where they signed their poster before it was removed to be auctioned for charity.

"They had to take it down as they had renovations for the restaurant planned from months back," Jevh says.

According to Jevh, the walls of the renovated restaurant will have pictures only of food and no people.

At the same time, Jevh and Christian were invited onto the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

"Meeting Ellen was insane," Jevh said.

Being on the show may have been reward enough, but DeGeneres and McDonald's conspired to give Jevh and Christian another surprise.

"McDonald's loves customers like you," the TV host told the pair.

"They are committed to diversity and want to represent all their customers, so they are going to use the two of you in a marketing campaign.

"Since you're in a campaign, they need to pay you, right? So you're each getting a cheque for $25,000."

The BBC has approached McDonald's to ask for more information on the marketing campaign but has had no response.
